knitted bugs...

so i realized that i hadn't really shown you ladies the installation i did of my knitted bugs at my grad show. the place we used for the show was being renovated, and i loved it. when we got there to set up i found this amazing hole in the wall. it was about a foot wide and ran up the whole wall, and it was the perfect place to put my bugs. i had about 30 of them to install, and had them crawling along the wall and into and up the crevice. we put a spot light at the top of the hole, but a lot of people didn't even see the bugs at first. it was great. they kinda walked by, and then all the sudden realized that there was a swarm of bugs on the wall. it was defiantly fun, and a really interesting way to install the piece, defiantly way different than the first way they were installed. and i'll probably do it all different next time!

final critique!

so this was the work that i showed at my final critique! i'm really happy with the way that it all turned out, and with the way it was all displayed. the colourful scarves are the pieces that i am putting into the Grad Show at the OCC this week, and then the picture of the b/w work will all be in the Grad Show at the Sheridan Gallery. now i'm pretty excited to see it all up and displayed!

busy week...

hey ladies! sorry for the absence the last few days, but i'm at home for the holiday weekend, and its been super busy! i had a semi-formal party on my birthday last thursday (which was super fun!), then home on friday night and a joint birthday party out with a whole bunch of my good friends, and then away with the family for the weekend!! its been busy! and i left my camera cord back at my apartment.
and this week is going to be just as busy. tomorrow my dad and i are headed back to my apartment at school to move a few things out, and then i'll be helping set up the gallery for the school open house and grad show this weekend, and then off to another grad opening on thursday!
so if anyone is in Toronto this week, on thursday night our Grad Show opens at the Ontario Crafts Council on Queen St West. i'm really excited about it! and then on saturday, there is an open house and the official opening of the gallery with the Grad work. its going to be a pretty exciting week!
